My LORD—Your Lor`:s . tdlS Will, I trust, forgive the liberty thus taken by a - omen who, although not unknown t o y ou , d oes not deer. ,t expedie n t t o affi x his name to a letter written solely :nth the view of exposing, what be must term, a legislative out rage. The Statute Book is polluted by an Act passed when an ex piring Parliament was at its last gasp ; when reason was absorbed in the pangs of dissolution. This precious device, is intittiled—. " An Act to- explain an Act of the 53d year of the reign of his late Majesty, respecting the enrolment of Memorials of Grants of Annuities." " Cap. 75." 1 "Slit May, 1826." It is all but credible that the jeggte not only overthrows legal decisions of several years' itantling, made on the authority of the ; 53d Geo. 111., but, by its crafty, wording, operates in the same manner on the Stat Annuity Act, 17 Geo. JII., so that it em braces a desttltetive retrospect of fifty years. T it Fdatute is founded on falsehood, by alleging, that doubts haw been entertained whether it is necessary that the Christian names of witnesses should be inserted at length in the Memorials. That no such doubts over existed is made quite manifest by the judgment of the King's Bench, in " Cheek 7.. Jefireys."-3 Dow ling and Ryland, page 185.—For Mr. MARRYAT, who had ob tained a.ride to show cause why the warrant of attorney should not be set aside, on the ground that the memorial did not contain the Christian name of the witness, which was expressed by an ini tial letter, was stopped from replying to the Counsel who showed cause ; which certainly would not have been the ease, had the Court entertained any doubt on the subject, and the rule was made absolute. Mr. Justice BAYLICY observing, it was quite clear that the initial was an insufficient description in the memorial, because it would be insufficient description in a subisena. Really, my Lord, this headlong legislation is highly disgraceful to Parliament ; and I trust that the new one about to assemble will retrace the steps of its predecessor, by lending itself readily to the repeal of .this and other Acts, obtained by the like eurrep titious contrivance; which never could have passed but by that kind of stealth which is, above all things, shameful in the Legis lature of any country to connive at, or be the instrument of; for if grave dccisiont of Courts of Law are to be crushed beneath the ponderous weight of ex post facto enactments, where is the Kay loin fur persons of property? This wholesome course would effectually suppress the grow ing practice of foisting, what may be termed masked I3ills on Parliament. If the Annuity Act is oppressive, let itbe immediately repealed ; but to give retrospective effect to what it falsely termed an expla natory statute, is, in my view of the measure, horrible; for it . inflicts injury on persons, who hav e ac t e d on th e au th or ity o f th e law as it has been expounded for half a century—conveys direct, censure on the Bench, and establishes 4 baneful precedent for the' very ivorat purposes of injustice. , I have the honour to be, Your Lordship's obedient servant, A BARRISTER of 30 years' standing.

At the close of the poll the numhets Were declaim' to be—: For Mr. Winchester .17 Mr. Wilde l7 Mr. Crook 2 Mr. WiLrik, iti a few words, returned thanks for the exertions which his friends had that day made, and expressed his confidence of the result. Mr, WINCIIISTER was about to return thanks In ft *peach, when The LORD Mwron interposed, and said that business of great importance waited for him at the Mansion Clouse, and he must be compelled to dissolve the Wardmote. 'The most regular course was to make the speeches at the final close of the poll. The Wardmote was then dissolved. POLICE INTELLIGV4CE, MANSION-HOUSE.—On Thursday application was made to the LORD Afavoa for a warrant against 3lr. John Wilks, juh. , Of Broad-street, upon information taken Upon oath, for forgery. His Lordship, before he granted the warrant, consulted the Recorder and the City Solicitor, by both of whom he Was assured that the evideke taken down by the clerk was sufficiently strong to war rant committal to Newgate: Mr. Cope, the Marshal, was there upon sent to Mr. Wilka's house with the warrant. The Marshal consented to detain his prisoner in custody until yesterday, at his own house. Yesterday morning it was known all over the city that Mr. Wilke was under arrest upon a very serious charge, and numbers of gentlemen assembled at the Mansion-house, for the purpose of witnessing the examination, which, however, in ran sequence of the Lord Alayor's engagement at Vintry Ward, did not take place until between four and live o'clock. Mi. Willa stood at the foot of the table, and Mr. Harmer, who had attended on the preceding day, as solicitor fhr the prosecution, was near the Lord Mayor. The business commenced precisely in the following manner : The LORD Mayon.—Mr. Harmer, are all your witnesses pre sent? Mr. Harmer looked round, and said, that he believed they were not. The Loan Mevon.—You have brought a charge of forgery . against Mr. Wilke, and there may he such 4 thing as compound ing felony, you know. Are you, Mr. Wilk*, acquainted with the charges stated in the informati o n ? _ _ • Mr: Xi -l ilks.—Yes; I have been furnished with a copy. Thel4oan Alarm —Let the depositions upon which the war. rant *as issued be read. Mr. nobler stated that Mr. Mitchell, who wa3 Olin of the de ponenta, was present. Mr. Mitchell's evidence was then read. It was to the follow ing effect:--Tee is Secretary to the British Annuity Company._.. On the ehth October, 1924, a Board of the Directors of the Com pany was held at the Company's office, in New Broad-street...— Mr. Wilke, who was solicitor to the company, was present, and stated that there were eertain deeds ready to be executed, upon which 1,500/. were to be paid. Thi s sum was to b e forwarded, he said, to Edinburgh. In consequence of this communication, a draught was issued by the directors for the above-stated purpose, and given to deponent. On the same evening, a letter . was pro duced from Mr. Wilke, stating that a confidential clerk was going to Scotland, and that the money would be sent by him. The deponent, therefore, 'immured a Bank post-bill for 1,000/. and another for bOOl. made payable at Messrs. Scott and Williams', W.S. Edinburgh, and sent the same to Mr. John Wilke, junior. IThe number 9f the Bank poet bill for 1.0004 was 1#498. • No cognisance up;m this ocritsiatt was taken of the Mink poet-bill for 6004 The deponent further stated, that the entionteruent a by procuration for Messrs. Scott and William s , w in the hand writing or John Wilke, jun. The Loan Mayox—call Alexander Br,ott.---Mr. Scott did not answer. The LORD MAYOR—Why is not Mr. Scott present ?—No nn SWIM The Lorin MAYOR—Lit Mr. Scott's depwition he read. Mr. Scott's deposition was immediately read. It was to the effect, that he had never authorieed Mr. Wilke to endorse any bill, and that he believed his partners had never given any autho rity of the kind to Mr. Wilke. The Loan Mavoa—As Mr. Scott is not bare, we must take the evidence as it now stands. I have not, Mr. Wilks, issued the warrant against you upon my own opinion alone; I have con sulted the Recorder and the City Solicitor, and they thought that the evidence was strong enough, if uneontroverted, to cause a verdict of guilty. Ido not know why Mr. Scott, whose evidence is so important, does not appear. I cannot discharge you, Mr. Wilks; and if you know not why Mr. Scott is absent, you cer tainly have very great reason to complain. Mr. Wilke..l am most anxious to meet the case, my Lord.— Mr. Mitchell certainly did send to me the Rank post bill. That is all the information which you. appear to me to have received, according to the evidence. The Coen Mavoa--,-No ; the Bank post-bill is here, with your endorsement; and it is sworn that yon were net authorised by Messrs. Scott and Williams to endorse it. Mr. Wilks—Whit was done in this business by me was done, my Lord, by meal the authorised and accredited agent of Mess's. Scott and Williams ; and if Mr. Scott was present, hu would tes tify to that effect• The LORD MAYOR—Then your defence if, that you were authorized. Mr. Wilke—lt is certainly. The LOAD MAYOR—That is no doubt a good defence, if it can be supported. Wilks—l have acted in the capacity of agent, and as Dlr. Scott is not here to state any charge against me, I ask to he dis charged. The Loan Maroa— It is impossible for me to do that. ask yon, Mr. Harmer, when you WI , Mr. Scott? Mr. Harmer said that he saw him that morning. ' The Loan May is he? Mr. Harmer---I do not know. A Yoke—Ho was here At three o'clock. Mr. Ilobkr—Perhaps be mistook the hour. Mr. Wilke_There le, 'I assure you, my Lord, no pretence whatever for the charge, and the evidence before your Lordship merts nothing against me. At all events, lam willing to give bail, and, I am surely entitled to be bailed. The Lohn Maymt—l before told you, that I had not Wined the warrant without the best advice--without theopinion of those who told me that on such evidence a conviction would take place. If you know nothing of the way iu which Mr. Scott has with drawn, you are certainly to be pitied. Willte.-3 know nothing about the absence of Mr. Scott. I am whatever it be, against me,: , The here Loa n r7d 4 i! - A t 1 1; :p i11 k ee ...... t if the c ru lia L ge y ' you know nothing about Mr. & o w e e h oenei , you mean that we should infer that whet he has said is false.—Mr. Wilke—Yes. The Loan Mavoa—lt is not in my power to act otherwise than according to - law, you are aware, Mr.' Wilke. . M r . Wilka_Now, if there be any charge against me, it is nd.» mated that there is no imputed fraud. If! am charged with any thing, it is with a mere technicality.

I reside i n t h e City of London, in your Lordship's neighbourhood, and you roust be aware of the great hardship of confining m eon d er nder a charge of this nature. You have allowed others to bail . The LORD Mavoa—Not upon a T c h l e m y rg k e new of forgery. Mr. the M r . Wilks.—There is no forgery—not the least intention to defraud.

You ought, therefore, my Lord, to dis charge this rase ; at least, you ought to allow me fir inter into re cognizances, which lam ready to tin to any 'amount. At pee wi t I assert there is no charge whatever against met and it you pro ceed in this Importer, how am I to know how often I am to be re manded ? The Loan Mayon—How can I act otherwise? Parties have, here sttforn that the charge against you is a true one. If it i s false you will rove it, and have your remedy afterwards. m i . Scott must not, by his cowbel l throw the imputation of winking at a compromise upon a Magistrate. Mr. 11 7 1/km —I don't ask to be discharged ; l merely wish to he allowed to give ta4.

Mr. Wilke—For how long a time sea I to be remanded The Loan Mmon—Fao long as to give time for the other party to make his appearance—until Monday. Mr. Wilke-'--011! Net so long as that : what is to be done then if the party does not appear ? The Loan rdAyon—Why, thee I shall think serivusly of the way of proeet:ding against those who do not appear.; Mr. Wilks—My Lord, I: hope you will allow me to stay tilt Monday with your officer in any house, in the county of Mid dleaex—not in any office, the evil resulting from that would he extreme. My father will, on a future day, be one Of my bail, and my uncle will be another, fur they are aware that there is nothing in the charge.:_ • The Loan Maroc.--I cannot allow you to go anywhere but where others go against whom charges are brought. Mr. Wilke.—You cannot, surely, my Lord, have any objectiort to let me go to my own house in custody of your officer. The Loan MAYOK—The law has provided in curs of the kind, and it is not left to determine. Do you think, Mr. City Solici tor, that I would betaking too much responsibility upon inpiell to agree to this proposai The City Solicitor—You eertainly would, my Lord. Mr. Wilke—The officer will do it upon his own responsibility. The LORD MAVOR—He cannot do it. I cannot consent. 'You must go to the Compter. Wilkes—l ant ready to go at once into the charge, or I shall go into it to-morrow. The Loon Avon.---Do you wish to come up to-irtorrow ? ' Mr.' Wilke—lf you please—if you have no objection. The Loßn MAYOR*I have no wish upon the subject. Do just as you choose as to the day of examination. I don't think it can be of any use to you to come up to-morrow.' If you are in nocent, there can be nu wish for unnecessary publicity; and if you are not, so early an examination can do no good to your case. If Mr. Scott can say that he made a mistake, and that you were authorised to endorse the names of the firm, and if he cannot appear on Saturday, an examination on that day can be of no pos sible service to you. Mr. Wilke was then conducted to the Compter by sir. Cope, *and to be brought up for further examination on Monday.' UNION-HALL—A [peat deal of laughter was excited at this office during the investigation of an assault Warrant * charging Captain John Cuthbertaon, on the retired liat of the Kith Regi ment, with having assaulted Elizabeth his wife. The defendant was (treated in the moat grotesque manner stns inabla ; the coat or rather jacket, which horror(' was a rusty black, with the tails clipped short, and no waistcoat underneath ; ha was ditermined on securing the lower part of his person from the keen air, end bad on a long pair of thick trousers, over whit+ he had light small clothes, and his legs were wrapped round with 4,1).114 as a sub- Niitote for stockings. His head was decorated in a moat curious manner, being well powdered and pomatumed, and his hair curled Up on each side, something in the fashion of a Barrister's wig. The captain appeared to be well striker, in yeas* at least verging on 60, while his wife, Elizabeth, a pert little body, who was dressed out to the beat advantage, did not seam to ho mole than 18 or 19 years of age. Mr. CIW4SERS (to the defendant)—What have you to say for striking the woman ? It is unmanly, especially for a men barring the King's commission, to assault a female. The defendant said, addressing his wife You k now , miss Betsy, you would never let me rot until I made you my wife" then, appealing to her, asked whether he was not telling the truth, and whether they were not called nine different times in Church before he consented to hay, the ceremony performed. lle then said that they were only married nine months, and he thought that time an age ; and as she had been born and bred in Petticoat lane, that genteel school for the education of ladies, he was con. vineed she had contracted the marriage with him for the purpose of fleecing hint out of his 7s. n-day half-pay, that he receiver for his services abroad. Mr. CHAMIUMS»IIIIst call on you to lint in bail to keep the peace, unless you should mutually agree to separate, Which would he the best plau for you both. Th. Captsin—l ant quite agretible to part with Mies Betsy, and I hope she will be the sante on her part. Wife--.oh! yes ; I shall be happy enough to get rid of rot old fellow like you. Mr, CII,IIIIIIMC4 then suggested that he should allow her 31. 6d. a week.• The Captain said he was ready to comply with theta teems, "although, •' added he, " it is more than she is worth." Mr. Citastezits—And I should advise the weekly maintenance to be paid into the bands of a mutual friend.
